How To Delete Poverty, Misery and Sickness From The File Of Our Life. Part I I

Continued from part 1 .......

Wealth, prosperity, a healthy body, good looks, good intellect and everything desirable are the fruits of good karma performed in the past. Wealth and prosperity thus boil down to augmenting the good karma and minimizing the bad to keep ahead of the curve. The Hindu way of prosperity generation tweaks karma through Chants, Mantras, Stotra, Yajna and Yantras.

The world that we live in and the universe that surrounds us on all sides are made of matter. Modern science tells us that matter is made of molecules, which in turn are made from atoms. Atoms are not the smallest entities known to man. There are a number of finer particles like protons, electrons and neutrons, which make an atom. These particles are not the ultimate building blocks of matter either. There are gluons, leptons, and muons etc, which appear and disappear as matter as a manifestation of energy. Science tells us that ultimately it is the energy, which creates the known universe. The matter that we are able to sense with our five senses is actually frozen energy.

I wouldn’t advise it but you could take a lump of enriched Uranium 235. It will appear very heavy and somewhat warm to the touch. If you took sufficient quantity of it and made it explode as an atom bomb, the mass of Uranium will be converted to a great deal of energy, which will do very interesting things to you and the environment. It will however prove that matter and energy are inter-convertible.

Having established that matter is frozen energy, we might want to look at energy itself a little more intently. The light from Sun, Moon, stars, light bulbs and every other source is energy. Heat is also energy. If you provide enough heat, most things will begin to glow and emit light. Sound of every type is energy as well. There is one fundamental similarity in all energies. They vibrate. The difference between different forms of energies is the rate at which they vibrate. So we can say with complete scientific certainty that vibration is the ultimate source of matter.

If we can produce right kind of vibration, we can produce right kind of results. This is the basis of all prosperity producing methods given in the Vedic or Hindu philosophy.

How can we produce the right vibration? Through our mouths of course. We can use sound energy to manifest anything we want. It takes some doing, but it can be done. All one needs is the right kind of language. Language thus becomes the tool with which to write the software, which produces a particular result that we want.

This is something we do as a routine. We write, print, compute, animate, take pictures and do a million other things with software every day. We use different instructional languages for the purpose and produce the results on our computer screen. The Vedic methods use Sanskrit or its derivative languages, and produce results in three dimensions. Results that we can consume, gloat over, bank or put in our pockets. It takes some time and some doing but beats backbreaking monotonous work hands down any day. Yes! it is perfectly possible to do nothing and yet produce wealth. The universe has super abundant energy and all we have to do is to learn how to harness it.

How To Delete Poverty, Misery and Sickness From The File Of Our Life. Part I

Ever since the time that man walked away from his cave and discarded his animal skin, spear and club, he has hankered after prosperity and its derivative – the social status. The three dimensional world that surrounds us is intimately linked to our five senses. Those who are able to gratify their senses at will are considered powerful and society looks up to them as leaders. No wonder then that attainment of money and power has become ultimate goals for all of us. (A very tiny minority is free from this temptation but this book is not meant for them, as they need none of it.)

Most of us however are not as wealthy as we would like to be. There is always one more need and one more bill to pay and not enough money in the bank to take care of it.

The reason why this happens forms the basis of one of the most ancient and complete philosophies ever known to man. From the same philosophy come the chants, rituals, Yantra and other measures that can remedy lack of money and happiness.

Many people believe that hard work and knowledge alone can make one wealthy and powerful. This may be true in some cases but a careful analysis will prove that it is an exception and not a rule. There are professors of management in universities all over the world who just make their paycheck and nothing more. Then there are millions of people spread all over the word who perform back breaking work for hours together but barely eke out a living.

Some people believe that there is a magical law of attraction and that all one has to do to attract prosperity is to focus on it all the time. This theory of attraction is unproven because very few people have demonstrably become wealthy by using it. While it is true that law of attraction works, it must be understood the context in which it functions. Bad Karma generated in past lives will relentlessly express itself. In the present incarnation it will attract such people and circumstances that will bring home the lesson of that bad karma. It is not possible to equal Bill Gate’ s wealth by law of attraction. One cant over draw from one’s Karma account, and no credit facilities exist there.

Perfectly healthy people die in an accident and chronically ill linger on in a painful existence for many years. Innocent people are thrown in jail and executed for crimes they did not commit while criminals roam free. These may be blamed on corruption and an unjust system which may be true, but whatever the reason the underlying cause is still the seed of the Karma brought forth from past life which is germinating now.

Our death is not the stop button on the video player of life. It is only a pause. A new DVD is inserted, the soul is born again in a new body and undergoes happiness or sorrow, wealth or poverty, good health or sickness etc in an endless cycle.

Time is it cyclical or linear, A Fresh Look At The Indian Yug System – Part IV

Continued from Part 3.....

From this point onward the Sun began to move towards the Vishnu Nabhi or grand center and the human intellect slowly started to develop. During the 1100 years of the ascending Kali Yug there were frequent wars all over the world and man’s cruelty and brutality knew no end. This period ended in 1599 AD.

At the end of the Kali Yug the hundred year period of Yug Sandhi came into effect to usher in the Dwapar Yug. Slowly the human intellect began to develop and we took the first few hesitant steps towards the understanding of electric current and magnetism. In 1600 AD William Gilbert studied the magnetic forces and observed the presence of electricity in all living beings. A little later Kepler discovered the laws of astronomy and the first Telescope was invented by Galileo. In 1621 Drebbel of Holland produced the first microscope. In 1670 Newton laid down the laws of gravitation and a little later in 1700 AD Thomas Savary used the steam power to lift water from the mines for the first time. In 1720 Stephen Grey discovered the action of electricity on human body. These discoveries and inventions came rapidly on the heals of one another. This became possible because the heavy burden of Kali Yuga was lifted from the minds of humanity and human intellect could begin to soar in the realm of pure thought.

The political structure too underwent a major change. People began respecting themselves and the all powerful medieval political system became less rigid and suffocating. In England democracy took firm roots and undermined the power of the king. Concept of liberty, equality and fraternity gained ground in France and the united states of America won its independence. The war torn Europe at long last saw some peace.

The rising Dwapar gave a huge impetus to the utilization of fine energies like electricity and magnetism. Electric motors combining the two forms of energy came into common use. Mankind learned to harness these energies though their real nature still eludes us.
In 1899 the two hundred year period of Dwapar Sandhi came to an end and the two thousand years long Dwapar Yuga began. This coming period will give us a real understanding of electricity and magnetism. As Dwapar advances, communication will become increasingly widespread and technologies will keep emerging that will simplify this process.

The mistake
According to this new theory, the Hindu almanacs do not show correctly the present Dwapar Yuga. The astronomers and astrologers who calculate the ephemeris maintain that the duration of Kali Yuga is 432000 years of which only 5103 years have passed till 2003, leaving 426897 years still remaining. Fortunately this is not true.

The reason for this mistake can be traced back to the reign of Raja Parikshit who lived around 700 BC. This was immediately after the completion of the last descending Dwapar Yuga. At that time emperor Yudhishthir noticing the approaching dark Kali Yug, relinquished his throne to his grandson Raja Parikshit and retired to the Himalayas. All the learned and wise men of his court migrated along with him and so there was no one left who could understand the principle of correctly calculating the age of the Yugas.

After the completion of the 2400 years of the then current Dwapar Yug, no one wanted to - and dared to - announce the end of Dwapar and the beginning of the coming Kali Yug.
This wrong method of calculation in two steps went like this:

First mistake
The first year of Kali Yug was numbered 2401 along with the age of the now ended Dwapar Yug. In AD 499 when the 1200 years of the length of the true kali Yug were complete, the age of Kali Yug was given as 2400+1200 = 3600 years.

And the second

As the Sun began to move towards the Vishnu Nabhi or grand center the intellectual power of man began to rise. The mistake in the almanacs thus came to the notice of the Pundits living at that time. They found that the ancient Rishis had fixed the duration of the kali Yuga at only 1200 years. They could however make out only the mistake and not the reason for it. They interpreted that the 1200 years of the real age of Kali were not solar years but so many Daiva years. Each Daiva year was supposed to contain 12 Daiva months and each Daiva month was supposed to contain 30 Daiva days. Further each Daiva Day was taken to be equal to one solar year of our earth.

The simple mathematical calculation went like this.
1200 (Age of Kali Yug) X 12 (Daiva months) X 30 (Daiva days) = 432000 (Daiva Days)
Since each Daiva day equals one solar year, therefore total length of Kali Yuga is 432000 years.

The ephemeris shows that the autumnal equinox now to be almost 23.85º from the first degree of Aries. This shows through a simple calculation that 1705 years have passed since the time that the equinox began to recede from the first degrees of Aries.
Deducting 1200 years (The age of Kali Yug) from 1705 we get a figure of 505 years to show the present year of our world’s entry into the Dwapar Yug.
The present year is thus 505 Dwapar.

As time passes this view mentioned above will gain ground and replace the old one which gives hugely inflated number of years for each Yug.

Resonance of this view
The only other people who kept meticulous track of time like us were Mayan of South America. They were no strangers to our forefathers. Mayans have been mentioned twice in our epics. Once in Ramayan and the second time in Mahabharat. In both instances they are depicted as master builders and technologically advanced race. Their calendar is very similar to ours and corresponds to our Yug system.

Calculations from Mahabharat
Scholars from across the world came together, for the first time, in an attempt to establish the 'Date of Kurukshetra War based on astronomical data.' Undoubtedly, it was a comprehensive presentation of information in a discussion group, held on January 5 and 6, 2003 at the Mythic Society, Bangalore.

Scholars analyzed the astrological information present in Mahabharat and their estimates varied from 2067 BC to 1478 BC. This is roughly in accordance with the Dwapar period given by the revised theory.

I feel that we should be open to new ideas when dealing with ancient Indian history. It has been misrepresented and misinterpreted due to many reasons and needs a fresh look.

Time, is it cyclic or linear - A fresh Look at Indian Yug system Part - II

Yuga system

The Indian concept of time is cyclical in nature. All systems, ideas and events have a beginning a mid point and an end. Nothing is everlasting in the visible universe that surrounds us. The human intellect is limited in its scope and often assumes that a smoothly or chaotically functioning system will keep on doing so for ever. We take for granted that growth or decay will proceed in a straight line for all times to come. In reality, nature has no straight lines. Night and day, growth and decay of animal and plant species is a natural part of life. Companies and corporations, kings and their kingdoms all appear on the world stage, flourish for a while, then die. This is the eternal truth.

The Rishis being one with the universe knew the reality of time. They knew it was unreal and had validity only in the three dimensional world. They also knew that under its influence everything will go through crests and troughs, life and death. The essence of this Vedic insight was reintroduced to the world in 1894 by Gyan Avatar Swami Sri Yukteswar ji. His concise but ground breaking book, The Holy Science explains in detail the creation and sustenance of this universe.

The following is a summary of his teachings about the Yuga system. We all know that our solar system has Sun at its center and the earth and the rest of the planets move around it. Sun itself is a dual star and revolves around another star. According to the Vedic philosophy, this dual system of stars orbits around a region in space called Vishnu Nabhi.

This region is the seat of creative intelligence. When Sun reaches closest to the Vishnu Nabhi, the Dharma (mental virtue) is at its peak and humans are close to God. They understand the creative principals which create this universe and make life on earth and elsewhere in the universe possible. When Sun reaches a point farthest from Vishnu Nabhi, Dharma is at its lowest ebb and humans lose all their understanding of the creative principals. We understand nothing higher than the grossest material creation.

The autumnal equinox is the pointer to the position of the Sun in relation to the Vishnu Nabhi. When autumnal equinox falls in Aries, sun is closest to it. When autumnal equinox falls in Libra, the Sun is farthest from it.

It takes twelve thousand years for the Sun to travel from the closest to the farthest point from Vishnu Nabhi.. At the end of this period The Sun swings around and again begins to advance towards the seat of creative intelligence. Each of these two periods of twelve thousand years is called a Daiva Yug.

When the Sun is moving away from Vishnu Nabhi, the Daiva Yug is known as descending Yug. Conversely when the Sun is moving closer to the grand center, the period is called ascending Daiva Yuga.

Each Daiva Yug brings about a complete change in our external world as well as in our thinking process. In twenty-four thousand years the Sun completes one ascending and one descending Daiva Yug. The growth and decay of Dharma is a slow and gradual process and is divided into four different and distinct stages in a period of twelve thousand years.

As mentioned above the Sun takes twenty four thousand years to complete one orbit around Vishnu Nabhi or grand center. 1/20th portion of this period or twelve hundred years is called Kali Yug. Dharma during this period is only a quarter developed. The human intellect can not understand anything beyond the simple process of living like eating, sleeping and procreating. This is called Kali Yug and has a duration of 1200 years


The period of 2400 years during which the Sun passes through the 2/20th portion of twenty four thousand years is called Dwapar Yug. Dharma at this point is in its second stage of development. It is only half complete. Humans can understand the electricities and their properties which are the creating principals of the external world.

The period of thirty six hundred years during which the Sun passes through the 3/20th portion of its orbit is called Treta Yug. Dharma at this stage is three quarters developed. This enables us to understand the divine magnetism which is the source of all electricities and electrical forces on which creation is dependent for existence.

The period of forty eight hundred years during which the Sun passes through the 4/20th portion of its orbit is called Satya Yug. At this stage the development of Dharma is complete and we can understand all principals of creation including their creator - God.

Rahu & Ketu - Their origin and transits

Rahu and Ketu are two imaginary points where the orbit of Moon around earth intersects the orbit of earth around Sun. They have no mass and their positioning in a horoscope is purely a matter of mathematics. Their results on humanity are however so profound that they are given the rank and status of a planet.
 

As always there is a mythological story attached here.
 

Eons ago, the gods and demons realized that the ocean had a lot of goodies concealed underwater. Untold wealth and divine creatures were hidden there, but most importantly there was that divine nectar Amrit which had the power to make them immortal and keep them forever young. This was the ultimate prize and the irresistible desire to win it brought these perennial enemies together.
 

They wanted to stir the ocean and force it to relinquish its treasures. For this purpose they took a mountain called Meru and used it as a churn. A churn requires a rope to work so they used Shesh Nag, - the mythical serpent who forms the cradle of Lord Vishnu - to turn it.
 

The churning began and soon all sorts of wealth began to emerge. Horses and elephants with extraordinary powers, all sorts of divine gems, trees with magical qualities all made their appearance. The most wanted nectar Amrit however still eluded them. So they tried some more and then the most poisonous venom came out of ocean and it was so powerful that it could destroy the universe by its fumes. Lord Shiva at that time swallowed this poison and saved the world from certain death. He did not allow it to reach his stomach but kept it in his throat, which turned blue. It is because of this that one of the names of Lord Shiva is Neel Kanth, or one with blue throat.
 

The churning continued and finally the pitcher of Amrit emerged. As soon as that happened, the gods and the demons forgot their new found friendship and made a grab for it. The churning stopped and a battle began. Both sides were equally powerful and would have annihilated each but for wily Lord Vishnu who made his appearance in the form of a woman of most surpassing beauty and allure. So attractive was she, that for a moment everybody forgot about fighting and had only one thought in his mind - have her at any cost.
 

That most comely woman addressed the motley crowd and pointed out to them the fallacy of their ways. If they kept fighting she said, and the pitcher broke, then that will be the end of it. So she told the gods and the demons to segregate and form a line so she could distribute Amrit equally to everyone. Here was irresistible beauty and brain talking together in tandem so everyone agreed. They formed a long line with the gods occupying the first half and the demons the second. Now the farthest thing from wily Lord Vishnu’s mind was equal distribution of Amrit. It was his plan to give it only to gods. Once that was done the demons couldn’t do anything.
 

Rahu and Ketu were two demons who were a little quicker on the uptake than the rest of their bunch. They saw through the guile that had been planned against them. So they disguised themselves as gods and quietly slipped into their line. Their ruse worked and they drank their share of Amrit. Sun and Moon who were standing next to them saw through their sham and told Vishnu of what had happened. Vishnu promptly summoned his Sudarshan Chakra (divine weapon) and beheaded both Rahu and Ketu. It worked only partially. It didn’t kill the duo because they had become immortal. Their heads and torsos were separated but they lived, and since that day they became sworn enemies of Sun and Moon. That is why every once in a while Rahu swallows Sun and Moon. But since he has no torso he can’t keep them in his mouth forever, they emerge out of his throat. This is exactly what happens during an eclipse. Sun, Moon and Rahu must come together to cause a solar or a lunar eclipse. After a while the sun or moon emerge again.
 

This is what is called an allegorical story. So what is the truth? I can make a guess.
Long time ago, their existed two groups of scientists and intellectuals. One group was green and wanted to keep ecology intact. The other group wanted progress at any cost. The ocean refers to the ocean of universal intelligence and churning to research and development. Meru Mountain refers to the height of their intellectual and scientific achievement. Shesh Nag the celestial serpent represents wisdom. Their combined efforts produced better crops, improved breed of horses and elephants. The toxic venom refers to the pollution that all this effort produced. Finally after much research they invented a drug that could keep one youthful for ever.
 

The origin of this story is lost in antiquity and it has been embellished over the ages but its basic premise is still true. Indian civilization is great at turning events into lore and passing these down through successive ages. For the sake of those who are curious, I must mention that the number of stories is astronomical.
 

Legend has it that since Rahu and Ketu had tasted Amrit and become immortal, they were included in the group of gods and accommodated thus. They are not true gods but only deemed to be so. In reality too, Rahu and Ketu are not real planets but only a mathematical point in space. They are elevated to the status of a real planet because they are so powerful in influencing humanity. Allegory again!!
 

In the next Blog; results of Rahu as he transits twelve houses from Moon…
